Her life was spent IN the service OF her children,
around whom she gathered the most refining and
attractive influences. striving by prcccpt and

Intelligent and talented far beyond the Ortl-

Suppressed Wrath Over a Sen
ate GIVsf0I1

Washington, D. c., Jan. 23.-A
great deal of suppressed wrath is
visible in certain quarters because
of the action of the Senate in order
ing the doors to be kept closed for
ten minutes after each secret session
in order to give Senators time to
leave the Capitol before the public
is admitted to the chamber. There
are many persons who have bust :
ness with Senators and who are una
bic to get to the Capitol under ordi-
nary circumstances until late in the
day. Under the new rule they will
invariably find the members of the
Upper House locked up. Hereto
fore these visitors, constituents, etc
have tarried until the doors reopen
ed but now. under the new order
of things, this would be useless
waste of time, as Senators make
haste to leave the chamber during
the ten minutes the doors remain
closed, and when they are reopened
the venerable Captain Bassett and
his assistant, Jas. Christy are about
the only persons visible. Senator
Edmunds is credited with having
proposed the. new arrangement. The
Vermont statesman aS suggestions
are invariably adopteo

The Acou1rrAL OF DAN HENDER.

The AcoUITTAL OF DAN HENDER-
SON.
Much interest was felt in the trial
of Mr.. Henderson, the jailor at this
place at the time of the escape Of
Ray, Anderson and others. The
hearing of the case was concluded
on Wednesday, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. The
defendant was represented by MIR.
Jos. s. Adams, and those who heard
Mr.. AS plea in behalf OF his client
pronounce it to have been an able
one.
And thus ends the prosecution
against Messrs. Rich and Hender-
son for having permitted the escape
of the murderers Ray, Anderson and
others, under circumstances that
led some to believe that there was
completely between the officers of
the law and tbs prisoners. Both
Messrs. Rich and Henderson have
had a careful and impartial trial
before a jury of their countrymen
and have been declared innocent Of
the charges, alleged against them.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.

Yesterday about II o'clock a fatal
accident occurred about a quarter
of a mile this side Of Gash's Creek
on the WIN. C. R, Road, and about
three miles from AsheviIle. The
mail train going east was somewhat
behind time, and a youth named
Sam James, fagman for the mate-
rial train at work at Gash's Creek,
was placed in the deep cut a quarter
this side of the trestle at which TIE
material train was employed. The
sides of the cut had been shaved
down quite steep. the dirt having re-
moved to the trestle which is being
filled up. The youth was setting
down under this embankment, evil
IDENTIFY to keep warm, as the sun
was at that time shining at that
point, and was talking to a couple
of boys who were standing in the
road just opposite him, when a
small slide took place just over his
head, the dirt-about two wagon
loads-falling Immediately on his
head and causing almost instant
death, his neck having been dislo-
Gated probably by the sudden
weight ON his heal.
The youth was about II years of
age, was from Salisbury where his
parents live, and was brother of
Mr.. Will James, one Of the engi-
neers OF the road, He was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him His
remains were carried to Salisbury

bly, followed in which most of the ladies

ceedings were characterized py great
good feeling and enthusiasm. The ENJOY
ment of the evening was much enhanced
by voluntary visit made te the society
by the AsheviIle Brass Bands- The gem
tlemen composing that excellent musical
association not only contributed soul
inspiring instrumental pieces, but indiv-
ldually added to the harmony by several
choice vocal selections. Their courteous
bearing and geniality in social inter
course were much appreciated, and a
hearty and unanimous vote of thanks
was accorded to them by the society.

A Big Show COMING.

"A D10 ChOn SOM1NO.
Next Monday evening, January
31st, the Howorth's Double Show
Comedy and Specially Company
appear in their great success the
1.-TWO Dans," an extremely laugha-
BILE play. They will positively pro-
duce their magnificent scenery here
as the agent has made arrangements
to that effect. The Charleston
NeaOs- Courier says of this company
Notwithstanding the severity OF
tie cold last night there was large
audience at the Academy of Music
to hear and see the presentation of
HoWorth's Double Show. The en-
entertainment consists of a comic
drama entitled the Twin JarYeys,"
an exhibition of the famous natural
scenery of Ireland and views of its
prominent cities, castles, &c. The
pictorial part of the show is one of
its most interesting features, afford
ing at once pleasant tour Of the
Emerald Isle and a lesson in its en-
tertaining history.
"The Two Dams" is an amusing
comedy, full of fun and humor,
both in dialogue and action. The
interest of the play arises from
the constant confounding of Dan
O'Loaory, Mr.. Bryan O'Lynn, and
Dan OLeary, Mr.. Frank G. Mack.
The personation of the principle
characters was satisfactorily done.
The whole performance delighted
all those who were present.
Tickets are now on sale at Saw
